Actually while you are on your soapbox, I'd like to tell you that you are absolutely WRONG on this statement. This has been proven over and over and most supporters of affirmative action do not bring it up as much anymore since research from UCLA has shown that having a "diverse" viewpoint literally has no effect on other students.
